The Green Party of England and Wales made history by joining the US Green Party in calling for an

end to the private creation of money by banks at their conference (Sept 13-16). After a debate on the motion at the Autumn Conference in Brighton, the Green Party has collectively decided to instead place this power with a democratically accountable

National Monetary Authority at the Bank of England. This represents a huge change in Green Party policy, as we are now calling for full reserve banking, alongside other radical policies such as

a citizens income,

land value tax and of course the

decarbonisation of the entire economy as we move to a post carbon world.
